Do you have a pillow close by? Deveron Gibbons’ latest mailer will put you to sleep

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Deveron Gibbons has a new mailer designed to put voters to sleep. On the front, the mail-piece has a couple of pictures that basically say “I am down with white voters. You are allowed to vote for me.” Gibbons even gives you his cell phone number in case you need a free money order. The flip side of this mail-piece is actually more clever than it looks. Yes, it is absolutely boring to look at. But if you read the…

Where is the plaque for alternates? In other words, Scott Wagman’s TV spot is a loser

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

Scott Wagman’s campaign debuted its first television commercial. I haven’t seen something so bad since I walked out of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Like the Transformers movies, this commercial had an almost unlimited budget, yet the dollars don’t end up on the screen. That’s because, despite his significant financial advantage, Scott Wagman doesn’t have anything new to say. To quote Oscar Wilde, “if it’s not on the page,” it won’t end up on the screen. Somehow and for some…

Angela Rouson arrives in your mailbox

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Fresh off her impressive performance at Tiger Bay, Angela Rouson sent out this direct mail-piece to St. Petersburg voters: There’s a lot to like with this mailpiece, although it leaves me wanting more information about Rouson. The duo-toning throughout is a smart move, although I wonder if it was an attempt to make the voter forget that Angela is black. Still, the picture on the cover is fantastic. It reminds voters that Angela is the wife of popular state representative…

Peter Schorsch announces candidacy for Creative Loafing’s Best Local Troublemaker

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

It is with tremendous enthusiasm and the support of my family and friends that today I announce my candidacy for Creative Loafing’s Best of the Bay award “Best Local Troublemaker.” In so many ways, this is a no-brainer: since I returned from New York last year, no one has created more havoc in the local political scene. I told Mayor Rick Baker to shave his mustache. I’ve torpedoed more people than Sean Connery. I even called the St. Petersburg Times…

Wayne Garcia says I am a ‘one-man election wrecking crew’ — I can’t say he’s wrong

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Wayne Garcia, Political Whore, who has wasted almost as much time writing about the All-American City Awards as he has the St. Petersburg mayoral race and who has shown a definitive bias for Scott Wagman’s campaign, lists me as one of five reasons why the election is not connecting with voters: Former PoHo contributing blogger Schorsch should have been nowhere near the city of St. Petersburg election. After all, his arrest a few years back on charges of ripping…
